Reader question: Stuck in the Netherlands, when can I go back to my family in Thailand?

There are movements but nothing official yet with expats married to a Thai national and living in Thailand, you will probably have to remain in quarantine for 14 months and (so far) have a hospitalization insurance of 100.000 dollars, July is in 10 days so just a little patience and courage because Europe is not well appreciated due to corona infections and the insurance will also be adjusted in the future.

A lot of people are in your case. You are right that little attention is paid to it. But you are not alone. I just saw a Spanish man on television with an Italian woman and they hadn't seen each other for almost 4 months.

I hope that the first will be those with a Thai partner see family. In a sense, that should have been possible for a long time. Partners of an EU citizen with an official residence may, just like the Belgians, also fly to Belgium if they wanted to.
Conversely, it does not seem so. Apparently Thailand also attaches less importance to marriage and family than we do here.
Hopefully relief will come soon. In fact, this is something that should be dealt with intensely through diplomatic channels.
I also never understood why the marriage partners of Thai nationals do not get a residence permit for a long time? As a father of a family you still have to get a visa every year and even worse you have to register every 3 months. Thailand is really an outsider in that area. Not infrequently are the countries where partners themselves acquire local nationality after 3 years of residence and marriage.

But I do understand those who have to deal with this.
Only when you see how the Thai government presents itself from the start in this crisis, then you are no longer surprised about it and all the consequences.
No. Then the Netherlands, how much comment we received compared to Thailand:
Thailand did well and you name it ,,,,,
See the result .success and have pity on the Thai.

I also regularly follow all posts here.
I am also legally married and we have children.
married couples , mixed nationality , Thai / Foreigner are clearly not treated in this way in Thailand and, unless I am mistaken, do not have an adapted status.

Personally, I believe that now is a better time to address our respective governments, especially our Ministries of Foreign Affairs, to exert appropriate pressure on the Thai government and thus obtain a statute for those people,

There may also be international agreements on mixed marriages and the upbringing and well-being of the children born of those marriages.

There, too, there may be something that can encourage Thailand to adapt the statutes of members of mixed marriages as such to the benefit of individuals and their children.

I am thinking here of adjusting the visa - all necessary measures to be able as parents to guarantee the well-being and good education of children born from this marriage

Diplomacy can certainly help here, but as we see our services do nothing without sufficient pressure.
This subject is, of course, not of a nature to serve economic interests.
Our governments are well aware of what is going on in Thailand and even they turn a blind eye to certain regimes in favor of ””economic interests”'.

Europe can also help with this. So all that remains is the will and courage of those in that situation, bearing in mind that “Unity provides more power”

Remember that most are not aware of the conditions in a country as long as it is not widely publicized.

Let's all start together?????
